It's spring, it's raining sleet where I live, and it's also the season for new rpm in rawhide. As per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RPM-4.17.
The changes to the macro subsystem internals have been quite large, and while it's supposed to be backwards compatible with changes this big it'd be foolish not to expect some amount of the unexpected. So please pay attention, and don't be shy about filing bugs.
One known issue is java-11-openjdk updates failing with a message like this:
error: lua script failed: /usr/libexec/copy_jdk_configs.lua:43:
attempt to index a nil value (global 'arg')
That is already reported against the java packages as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1892224, please don't file duplicates on that. It needs to be addressed in the java packaging.
For more details, see upstream release notes at https://rpm.org/wiki/Releases/4.17.0
Have fun,
